Hi,

Been programming in assembler since 1975. Started in ICL 1900 series PLAN, then
progressed onto Z80, DEC PDP-11, Univac 1100 series, V77, 68000, 8086 and finally all x86 based processors upto and including x64. I think, live and breathe assembler!!

I am currently working my way through a MIPS Assembly Language class. We are using MARS, a MIPS emulator from the University of Missouri. I don't know a lot about it yet but I am finding it very interesting. I am writing my first programs today!!

Ya I have fairly general experience with the assembly language. I can work pretty much only (with a few exceptions) a x86 machine 16/32. Created a boot-loader awhile back (fairly basic as my kernel ended up way over my head and the OS is hardly functional) but it was 32bit and worked fine. I'm looking towards a future of 64bit programming although the world doesn't seem to be quite adapted for it yet...

@Martyn.Rae - I will force you to sell that 64bit assembler because I can already foresee it being amazing and therefore you should be rich because of it.

I've been working on learning 6502 for programming on the Atari 2600. I use good ol' DASM. =]

Also planning on working with Z80 soon because I'm curious about Gameboy programming.

That's nice, I've already used 6502 Assembly to develop some NES games, also tried to use ARM Assembly to develop for GameBoy Advance, but ARM wasn't designed to persons that want to build things in Assembly.

I wouldn't necessarily call myself experienced, but I've been learning to program in assembly with GCC (GAS compiler, UNIX, AT&T Syntax) for awhile.

I don't really have a year that I started programming. I'm only 15.

Nice to see that we have young people interested on this, but GCC is just a C compiler, what you really mean(I think) is GAS, the GNU Assembler.

Did a lot of x86 (specifically for 8088, iAPX286, 80386, and i486) in DOS in high school/early college a long time ago. A smidge of Protected mode w/DOS Extender, nearly all Real mode. Much of it done for the DESQview environment. A few TSRs, and a couple device drivers (just for fun, not involved in any hardware work then). Never did any Windows assembly programming.

Just a little bit of UltraSPARC (on Solaris) a couple years ago when faced with some free time and an available Sun Server.

Other than that, not recently active, would like to do more of it but there's no free time at home for coding for fun and everything we use at work is Java & .Net now (other than I do get the chance to slip in a little bit of Lisp here and there for my own use). 64-bit MenuetOS w/FASM looks like something fun to work with if I can get some time.

Wonderful to know this. MIPS Assembly is very powerful and simple at the same time, you will love it. About the emulator I'm going to suggest you using qemu with MIPS Debian on it.
